Australia travel advice: bushfire risk and Middle East impacts

The UK FCDO updated its travel advice for Australia, noting that escalation in the Middle East has caused widespread travel disruption, including airspace closures and flight delays, which may affect travel plans even if the destination is not in the Middle East. Additionally, there is a higher risk of bushfires in Australia during spring and summer (October to February); refer to the bushfires section on the safety and security page.
